Huawei Honor 3X Vs Micromax Canvas Knight A350: Is the Battery the Only Biggest Deal?

The year may still have a long way to go before the start of 2015, but we have already been treated to a large number of smartphones from a host of different manufacturers.

If a comparison can be charted, it will be seen that the smartphone business in India actually boomed compared to what it was even last year. So much so that the Indian market was actually ranked highly among others in the Asia-Pacific region.

However, the story could have been much different if not the likes of Apple, Samsung or Sony hadn't ever entered the market to try out their lucks. But while all the big names still exist, a number of smaller and upcoming ones are also making sure that their presence is felt.

Two devices currently sharing the similar kind of ideology while making the most out of the market are the new Huawei Honor 3X and the previously released Micromax Canvas Knight.

While Huawei's new device looks enter the smartphone race as one of the better smartphones you will see in the market, Micromax has already made quite the name for itself and one big example of that can be derived via the Canvas Knight handset.

So if we were to strike a comparison between both these devices, who do you think will have the upper hand in the race? We take a closer look.
